used Ksport before, damper blew within a year.
apparently they improved their seal design.
D2 is exactly the same as Ksport...with purple paint instead.


I think BC Racing is just better overall. I've had them for over a year, no problems at all.

I heard there are a few nice kits that are labeled for the Toyota Camry that fit the 4ES.

Also hear are some options:

BC-R coilovers with progressive springs and OEM mounts. Do not get the ones that use pillow ball mounts/linear springs. The ride quality is night and day.

I heard BC racing is the best, I recently replaced my Struts but not with coilovers, I just put on 4 Moog Strugs (about $150 each) and it rides fine, I guess there's also a coilover set for around $600 and you use your existing equipment you have but didn't wanna deal with the hassle

I’m kind of stuck on if I want to drop it all or just leave it stock. I don’t want to constantly have to replace parts and put more wear and tear on everything..

I reccomend leaving it stock then, the moog struts i put on there are amazing and is a little stiffer at first but after 3000 miles on them, feels oem now
